Research: Intervisuality and Intertextuality: Imaginaries of Peace and Love from Philostratus Minor’s Text to Classroom Teaching
I am Altomare Distaso, a classical philologist with a strong academic background and a special interest in intervisuality, the reception of Greek texts, and their iconographic reinterpretations, particularly in Philostratus Minor’s Imagines. After graduating with honors from the University of Bari and the University of Bologna, I delved deeply into the themes of classical tradition and continuity. Currently, my research project within the National PhD Program in Peace Studies focuses on the need to explore Greek texts to investigate the concept of peace and conflict, both intrapersonal and interpersonal. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as a teacher across various educational levels and as an archivist, developing skills in education and historical document digitization.
